Hi, It seems that the 'unload-when-stopped' and 'version' subcommands of system-control are not mentioned in the documentation. They are listed in the output of 'system-control --help', though. I discovered the existence of the former because it is used in some of the scripts in the package/debian/ and package/bsd/ directories of the source package. Also, after building the target bundle directories (/etc/service-bundles/targets/*) from source, the 'virtualbox-host' one contains a 'kmod@vboxpci' dangling symlink in its wants/ subdirectory that doesn't look right to me. So I looked at the source/targets/virtualbox-host.target file from which the bundle is created, and, IMHO, there are some issues with it. First, it has multiple 'Wants=' lines naming a few kmod@vbox* services, not just kmod@vboxpci. But 'system-control convert-systemd-units' appears to only take into account the last one. And second, IIUC, since the filename ends in '.target', convert-systemd-units assumes unsuffixed bundle names in the 'Wants=' lines refer to targets, and the resulting symlink is constructed as '../../kmod@vboxpci'. Which would point to a nonexistent /etc/service-bundles/targets/kmod@vboxpci bundle directory. But on a more conceptual level, I don't really understand why these 'Wants=' lines are even there. The relevant kmod@vbox* service bundle directories that come with the nosh package already name the virtualbox-host target in their wanted-by/ subdirectories. So if one actually needs them, then 'system-control enable' or 'system-control preset' would take care of populating the wants/ subdirectory of virtualbox-host, wouldn't they? Thanks, G.
